The most important aspect that defines your Bohemian looks is the print you choose to wear. Prints like Floral, tie and die, batik, ikat, tribal prints, whimsical patterns or paisley are majorly used in Bohemian clothing. A boho chic’s best Friends are the patterns of her clothes.

The bohemians used to travel a lot and so they wore a lot of layers in order to carry less stuff but it looked extremely stylish and defined their style. Mix and match different colors and patterns it's all about merging all you have and make an artistic look for yourself.
3. Natural Fabric

The gypsys were highly inspired by nature and they were very harmonic to nature and natural elements. Fabrics like cotton, cheese-cloth, hemp etc..are majorly used natural fabric but you can also add lace and silk to spice up your urban Boho chic look.
4. Oversized clothes

Forget wearing skin fit bodycon dresses which doesn’t let you breath. Always choose one size up because if you are not comfortable in your clothes you are not a true Bohemian lass. The idea of Bohemian clothing is flowing and free spirited. So let your body breath and wear flowy long dresses and skirts.
5. Chunky jewellery

Rule number one is to never use designer jewellery always wear handmade artisians or tribal jewellery. A big statement necklace, big rings and bracelets merge everything you own and see the difference. A bohemian look is incomplete without bulky artistic accessories.
6. The footwear

Some nude shaded strappy sandals or gladiators are the most appropriate footwear for a Boho look but you can always wear boots to attain a modern bohemian chic look.
7. Use minimal makeup

The true essence of Boho is faded away with tons of make up on your face. Boho is a natural and fresh look. If you go without makeup nothing is more appropriate. However, if you want to do makeup use nude shades of lipstick and a little use of bronzer will look great.
8. Hairs

While dressing like a Bohemian forget about perfection in your hairstyle let them flow and let them be a little bit messy. Natural beachy waves are awesome and most common boho hairstyle is braiding your hair in different ways.
9. Wear a Hat or a Scarf

Floppy hats enhances your bohemian look and is an important aspect of hippie fashion. Hunt for scarves with fun prints on it with dark bright colours because nothing is as appropriate as a fun scarf on head for Boho look. The scarf can also be used to wear on your neck and tie it on your waist.
